"Divide the troops......" Gao Mingheng said in a deep voice: "The battle of Salhu back then was the so-called advance of all directions, so that one was lost to the other. I don't think this method of dividing troops is appropriate. weakened our strength, and it is difficult to predict the victory or defeat of Li Zicheng. ”

"I don't think so." Hu Dawei said: "Since Li Maochun can defeat Li Yan and chase him to the gate of Pingding Prefecture to regain the lost territory, it is not a big problem to divide the troops all the way." ”

Even Fu Shuxun agreed with the division of troops: "Li Zicheng is a general of the defeated army, which is not worth paying attention to." A strong enemy or a captive. ”

Everyone opened their mouths, and most of what they said was in favor of the division of troops.

At the end, everyone was suddenly silent. It turned out that two scribes came, and these scribes were accompanied by Huang Zongxi, and a few people moved away from the sand table and walked over, which was clearly seen by everyone.

It turned out that as soon as the emergency military situation came out, the sand table had to be changed again.

It was Huang Zongxi and the two people behind him who changed the sand table. Seeing these two people, many ministers were surprised. Because, these two people are famous people.

is the first person, surnamed Cui Zizhong. Dressed in the light blue military uniform of an ordinary Privy Council military division, he looked the same as an ordinary civilian military division, but after this person's face was revealed, he and the rest of the cartographic military divisions immediately attracted everyone's side attention.

Because, this Cui Zizhong is a famous figure in Beijing.

Cui Zizhong is a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty, the word Dao mother, is a student, and once traveled to study under Dong Qichang. Cui Zizhong is good at painting figures, and the scale of Gu, Lu, Yan, and Wu is famous, and Tang is no longer caught off guard. White painting and color can come up with new ideas, and Chen Hongshou is as famous, and he is called South Chen and North Cui. Not only that, many people in Beijing who like poetry and painting understand that Cui Zizhong is arrogant and vulgar, and he avoids high-ranking officials and relatives to interact with him. However, Cui Zizhong has a noble temperament and good private morality, so he is respected by many people in Beijing.

As for the other person, there are more familiar ones.

This is a monk Hongren, the founder of the Xin'an School of Painting. and Cha Shibiao, Sun Yi, Wang Lirui and other four people are called the four masters of Xin'an. Unlike Cui Zizhong, who became famous for his arrogance and vulgarity, the thirty-four-year-old Hongren followed the traditional path of a monk and had many contacts with high-ranking officials in the court.

The only thing that is in common is that both men were patriots in history. Especially Cui Zizhong is even more special, not long after Chongzhen Songshan hanged himself in history, Cui Zizhong also followed.

At present, Zhu Cihong is the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there is no story of hanging on a coal mountain. The two of them coincidentally appeared here and contributed to the sand table for Da Ming.

"Unexpectedly, Liuqi and Dao Mu both came out of the imperial court and served the country!" Fu Shuxun exclaimed: "It's really gratifying. ”

Cui Zizhong said loudly: "The country has a Ming Jun, and students should serve the country." In ancient times, there was a class of super pen from Rong, and today's students draw confidential sand tables for the army, and they are also emulating the sages! ”

"Amitabha, although the little monk is a monk, he is also a monk of the Ming Dynasty. Serve the country. Hongren followed, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly eased up, becoming positive and optimistic, dispelling the shadow of the attack of Southern Mongolia in the south of the country.

Zhu Cihong stared at the two of them, and sighed in his heart that these two people left a random painting to the future generations, but it was only a price of several million.

After such a small episode, Zhu Cihong opened his mouth: "The sages of the state-owned state have their own use, and each of them gives full play to his ability to serve the country, which is a symbol of rejuvenation!" Okay, let's get back to this military affair! ”

Everyone bowed and saluted: "The ministers respectfully obey the holy command." ”

"The attack on northern Xinjiang must be resolutely fought back." Zhu Cihong made up his mind: "Datong can't be chaotic, Ningwuguan in the south is being attacked by the Shun army, Shanxi Town is already in chaos, and Datong Town can't be chaotic at this time." The same is true for the Xuanfu, Jinyiwei strengthens his forces as soon as possible to defeat the traitors. In short, this weak opening must not be opened! Moreover, I noticed that in the past, when Jiannu went south to enter the customs, they were followed by generals. Abatai last time and Dolgon last time were the core figures of the Jiannu Dynasty. This time, the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan can really be regarded as the backbone of the Eight Banners, and it is only the weight of a general soldier in the Jiannu Dynasty. This time, there was no Prince Jiannu in the Mongol side, which means that Jiannu has weakened and has not yet made up his mind. ”

"This gap is our chance!" Ni Yuanlu smelled the opportunity.

After listening to Zhu Cihong's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense, and the atmosphere was even more encouraging.

"But if we show our cowardice here, let Jiannu find an opportunity......" Zhu Cihong said coldly: "Then more places, more troubles, more openings and loopholes that are difficult to plug will come out!" ”

Zhu Cihong said, rowing to the Shanhai Pass. Here, just now Cui Zizhong has listed the Han army flag of King Sanshun again. There are more than 20 villains, compared to Chen Yongfu's department, which confronted him in Jizhen, there are only three villains, and he is weak.

Everyone breathed slightly and was nervous, they understood that Zhu Cihong was about to make a decision.

"Divide your troops and go north!" Zhu Cihong said coldly: "Hu Dawei, you send a battalion to select 3,000 soldiers from the Beijing battalion to rescue Datong and Xuanfu two towns in the starry night. ”

"The last will be ordered!" Hu Dawei took the order and left.

"Li Guozhen, you lead the soldiers of the Beijing battalion to maintain the back road, protect the grain road, and cooperate with the local official uniform to dredge the safety of the road along the way from the Beijing division to Zhending." Zhu Cihong looked at Li Guozhen behind Hu Dawei again, this is Xiangcheng Bo, the commander of Jingying.

Li Guozhen was happy in his heart, and Jingying also followed out of Beijing this time, but everyone understands what Jingying is, and the task of taking over this back road makes Li Guozhen very relaxed: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Shi Kefa, you are also the chief military advisor of the Military Machinery Division of the Privy Council, responsible for the transfer of literate and clever military advisers from various departments, the formation of patrol law enforcement teams, the whole army, from me to the Beijing camp on the back road, those who dare to violate military discipline will be severely punished!" Zhu Cihong said, and Li Guozhen was suddenly awe-inspired.

The rest of the generals woke up one after another, and many civil officials, especially the local officials in Baoding, were overjoyed.

Shi Kefa's face was expressionless, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly received the order: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

"The rest of the departments, follow me and set off to Zhending!" Zhu Cihong looked around at the ministers.

Everyone cheered in unison, and then withdrew.

At the end of the scene, Ni Yuanlu suddenly found that Li Dingguo was a little depressed, obviously a little worried, and asked, "Dingguo, what are you thinking about in your heart?" ”

"Western Prime Minister ......" Li Dingguo looked at Ni Yuanlu and said softly: "Your Majesty's division of troops is based on the current situation that the battle against Li Zicheng is quite smooth. But the subordinates are a little uncertain in their hearts, and they always feel that there is something wrong. ”

"Oh?" Ni Yuanlu attached great importance to it, pulled Li Dingguo out alone, and saw that the number of people near the left was decreasing, and asked carefully: "What do you think is the problem?" ”

"If the subordinates say it, I hope the West Minister will not laugh at it." Li Dingguo was a little embarrassed.

Haha, when I said this, the old man became even more curious. But jokes are even more invincing. Okay, okay, let's be blunt. In major military affairs, where there are jokes and no jokes, be more right-minded. Ni Yuanlu finished laughing and straightened his face.

Li Dingguo let go of his worries at this time, and said: "My subordinates think that it is too smooth." ”

"Smooth?" Ni Yuanlu looked surprised: "The Mongols are ...... there"

"It's the way to play against Li Zicheng. Jiannu's vicious intentions are unexpected and reasonable. But ......" Li Dingguo said softly: "Li Maochun's victory is expected and unreasonable. The heads of the ...... I always feel that there is something wrong and something familiar. ”

"It is common sense that local officials and soldiers are becoming more and more unable to fight. Li Maochun is indeed an outlier, then, Hongyuan, what do you mean ......" Ni Yuanlu shouted Li Dingguo's words.

"Our division of troops is based on the reliability of Li Maochun, and the battle against Li Zicheng can be carried out smoothly, and Taiyuan can be recovered in a short period of time and then go north to relieve the danger of the border town. But if Li Zicheng loses the chain at this level, then the division of troops in the border town ......" Li Dingguo said this, and saw that Ni Yuanlu's expression was gradually difficult to see.

If Li Maochun is unreliable, then dividing the troops will be self-defeating.

If Li Zicheng can't keep up with this pass, it will be difficult to make a detour north to save Shanxi Town. If Shanxi Town cannot be saved, the safety of Datong Town and Xuanfu will be unpredictable......

……

Whoa......

It rained again in Pingdingzhou, and the rain was very heavy, as if the heavens could not stand the turmoil in the world, and a heavy rain had to wash away all the dirt.

Such a thought flashed through Fu Qingzhu's heart, and he remembered the military situation he heard some time ago. He set out for Pingdingzhou with a baggage team of Shun troops, and before he could feel the uneasiness of being undercover along the way, he was overshadowed by another bad mood: the roads were muddy, and the march was a great torture.

Fortunately, on the morning of June 1, Lord Fu Qing rushed to the west gate of Pingding Prefecture.

Because of a heavy rain, the Ming army quietly retreated again and withdrew from the siege of Pingdingzhou.

Or according to Zhang Hongshou, the general of the Shun army who led the team, it was because of the arrival of more than 6,000 people! Zhang Hongshou came with more than 6,000 men and horses to escort the military resources of the whole army. A small part of this is Li Yan's military supplies, and the rest is the consumption of Li Zicheng's main force in advance.

The rain clouds seem to be heading west to east, a heavy rain in Pingdingzhou, but some official roads in the west have been dried, under the scorching summer sun, Li Zicheng has already led the main force to reach Pingdingzhou in three or five days.

Lord Fu Qing, who had followed the small team to Pingding Prefecture, entered the city, and then walked towards Li Yan's army under the leadership of a local soldier.

The little soldier who led the team was a tired man in his prime, who looked to be in his twenties, Fu Qingzhu asked the name, only to know that this man named Liu Sanxi was actually seventeen years old.

As if he had a premonition of Lord Fu Qing's surprise, Liu Sanxi said: "Which of us, these little people, who have a rotten life, is not working hard day and night to survive with a full meal?" ”

Fu Qingzhu has a little more understanding of the people's suffering.

This time he didn't come for this, he responded casually, and Fu Qingzhu mentioned the recent situation of the recent battle with Li Maochun's troops with a worried face: "It doesn't seem that I came at the right time." Originally, I wanted to follow General Li Zheng, a heroic hero, to make meritorious deeds, but I didn't think about it, and just after I arrived, I collected my troops and returned to the city, and I heard that it was a big defeat. ”

As soon as Master Fu Qing finished speaking, Liu Sanxi blushed and said, "What is the big defeat?" It is clear that Chen Lu, who surrendered, surrendered by deception, causing a big defeat on Xifeng Terrace, if it weren't for the general to protect the army from the impact of the rout, where would Li Maochun get such a good name! ”

"Oh? There is a real reason for this. It's just that Sanxi is a little kid and knows so much? The generals are really good at leading the troops. Master Fu Qing said with a smile.

Liu Sanxi touched his head, laughed, and was a little embarrassed: "No, no." No, there are many people in the army who are not convinced, and General Zhi personally explained that he has been talking about this recently, and he has said a lot, and he has remembered it. In fact, counting them, except for Chen Luyi, who surrendered, there were not a few people in our army. ”

"Oh......" Lord Fu Qing felt something meaningful: "Then why did Li Maochun surround Pingding Prefecture and still fail to defeat it?" ”

"The little man doesn't know. Perhaps, it has something to do with the fact that a general in the western camp is sick...... Maybe a big man like you will definitely understand when you enter the Yaya. Wang Sanxi laughed with him and turned sideways.

Only then did Fu Qingzhu realize that he had arrived at the garrison of the Imperial Forest Army, that is, Li Yan's mansion.

Throwing a few pieces of silver to Wang Wang Sanxi, Fu Qingzhu stepped in, and found that there were many generals coming and going in the palace, obviously a meeting.

Master Fu Qing cautiously walked towards his station in the path, but he didn't expect to see Zhang Hongshou who led the team head-on.

Zhang Hongshou was very surprised when he saw Master Fu Qing: "You also arrived." Oh, remember. You are the doctor who collected there in Taiyuan. What a coincidence, this military discussion is also related to treatment, don't go to the good medical center first, let your subordinates unload the things first, you go with me! ”

"Yes......" Fu Qing mentioned it in his heart, both excited and a little nervous.

Excitement is to be able to listen to the military discussions of the Shun army, and there must be many secrets. What is nervous is that there must be some Ming army generals in the military discussion, and it will be a little dangerous if there is someone who knows Fu Qingzhu. Fortunately, there are many capable people in Jinyi Wei, and they have already disguised Fu Qingzhu. In addition, Fu Qingzhu has learned a lot of things, and he is also proficient in medicine, and at this moment, he is carrying a medicine box, which makes people think of the famous man who followed the governor to guard the city in Taiyuan.

The location of the military discussion is on the original state office, and a group of military generals are lined up on both sides of the main hall where the case is adjudicated, and the first man with a moderate figure and burning eyes is the general of the Dashun Imperial Forest Military System: Li Yan.

After Zhang Hongshou came in, many people looked sideways and looked at Fu Qingzhu.

Li Yan frowned slightly: "Why did you bring a living person?" ”

Zhang Hongshou hurriedly said: "General Hui, this is the doctor collected by General Ma in Taiyuan, and the last general heard that there was a medical treatment in this military discussion, so he took the initiative to bring it over." ”

"I mentioned the doctor's thing." Li Yan nodded after listening: "That's it, then listen to it aside." When the people came, Ben said it. Zhu Cihong is almost at the Zhending Mansion, and today he has agreed to go east to collect the battle of Jingcheng Pass! (To be continued.) )
